[Openid-specs-ab] Refresh token lifetime?

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any standard (RFC or OpenID) for conveying
the lifetime or expiry time of a refresh token?
The access token response returns an expires_in for the
access token, following https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.2.2
but there seems to be no standard for returning an expiry time or
lifetime for the refresh token.
It would certainly be useful information for a client.

In case there is no standard yet, what would be the right thing to do?
I would suggest adding another access token response parameter, such as
rt_expires_in. Alternatively, it could be the expiry time, e.g.
refresh_token_exp or something like that.

Are there already parties doing something like this?

Mischa
